    Hi Ray,

    Thank you very much for looking into this, in depth, as usual.

    Your solution would be a workaround for the French Canadian settings, but I have users in over 50 countries, with systems running in every European language as well as Chinese, Korean and Japanese. This issue is bound to come up again, somewhere, again.

    I assume this was not the same in the TRzDateTimePicker, which I dutifully changed when moving to Delphi 10.3, as I was told it was deprecated (us Canadians are an obedient group).

    Would it be possible to add an Allow Key Edit option to make this control avoid the back and forth of changing a perfectly valid date to string and then trying to parse it back to a date.

    I have started to look at changing the source code to dis-allow key editing and just keep the date obtained from the drop-down calendar, but any hints as to where to plug myself in would be appreciated.

    Very best regards,

    Olivier
